[applause] i have heard this before. i know this has been proposed in the past as a way of financing things. let me assure you, there will be no confiscation of private property under this administration. in fact, one of the most reprehensible of decisions in the recent years with the taking of private property for commercial purposes by the government. [applause] while i disagree with newt gingrich on some of his proposals with respect on how to deal with the court, they do go one step too far in separation of powers. i do believe we have to have a president whom when he stands up and takes the oath of office -- that is right. you have to say "i will defend the constitution of the united states." i will do that. if the court does not, then the president has to push back. this is one of the thing

i would note that when it passed, congressman graham was on the record that it was never the objective to trigger a sequester. the objective was to have the threat of sequester force compromise and action. that is precisely the thinking with the budget control act which was enacted almost exactly one year ago, is that correct? >> that is my understanding as well. in the recent past. >> at the time, the speaker was boasting in public that it got 90% of what he wanted in terms of negotiations with the white house. this was something that had more than bipartisan participation. the speaker claimed he got 98% with the deal voted and sent to the president one year ago. i would like to go to one. with mike -- which my good friend mr. forbes was trying to claim, that there was not a single proposal the white house was offering that has been voted by the senate or the house in terms of deficit reduction. i would point out that, in the 2011 republican budget plan, with a claimed $5.70 trillion in savings, $1 trillion was war savings in the oco account. the chairman is somebody i have a great de
